Yesterday the The ResourceShelf and Librarians' RX both blogged about the "Turning the Pages" project. It is very cool.

The NLM "Turning Pages" books are:

• Konrad Gesner's (1516-1565) Historiae Animalium (Studies on Animals)
• Ambroise Pare' (1510-1590), Oeuvres (Collected Works)
• Andreas Vesalius's (1514-1564), De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body)

The British Library has 12 books:
